| | Updates to David Taylor's Software - 2022
This page lists the major changes made to my applications during 2022. Please
note that as I am now retired, I am more likely to release beta updates rather
than "formal" updated versions - please look here
and register for update notification! You can register free of charge to
get automatic e-mails when this page changes and I would urge you to take advantage of
this free service. For my satellite software, please join the SatSignal
self-help user group For my other software
please join the David
Taylor's Software self-help group.
Just as Microsoft has dropped support
for Windows-7 and earlier, my software is no longer tested or
supported in any version of Windows prior to Windows-10. Both 32-bit and
64-bit versions of Windows are usually supported, and some programs can take
advantage of the larger memory space available with 64-bit Windows.
My programs may continue to work in those earlier versions, but this is
neither guaranteed nor supported. Please update from XP, Vista, 7 or 8 now.
